Parachute dry

Hook: Knapek Wet Fly #10
Thread: Sheer 14/0 Black
Tail: Mallard Flank
Body: Spirit River Rabbit-Tron Western March Brown
Rib: Sybai Flat Tinsel Holographic Black 0.4mm
Hackle: Whiting Bronze
Wing post: Hareline Para Post Dark Grey

One of those that will work under different hatches. The starting point was the dubbing and tinsel that I found in a drawer and that I hadn’t used before. The hook is a wet-fly hook, but it is very light and will make the fly sit nicely in the surface.

Here is one variant with dust broom wing and pearl tinsel:

Spinner fall can be be the most fun you have, or the most frustrating you can come by…. I’m not quite sure where I picked up this pattern, but it is a good one where you can swap out the colors quite easy and keep in different sizes for that one day where it really matters.

The para post from Hareline is great for these patterns, I’ve used it for a caddis pattern with great success; it floats forever

Bottom view: the imprint this have from underneath is the most important. The colors are important, yes, but look at that imprint

With different wing colors:

CDC&Deer caddis on #16BL

Posted on 3 March, 201420 February, 2014 by Håvard Eide cdc deer hareline sheer tmc

Hook: TMC 100BL #16
Thread: Sheer 14/0
Body: Hareline Hare’s Ear Brown/Dark Olive, Hareline Hare’s Ice Dub Rusty Orange
Wing: CDC & Deer in different colors

Following up on my post a while back when I started on re-filling my boxes before summer: next up here are 3 rows of CDC&Deer tied on a barbless TMC 100BL #16 hook. These will be good for my #0 and #1 rod when going after small brook trout. I have two rows of barbless left where I will do #12 with the center row color-combination before I start on the other side of the box that will match this, but not with barbless hooks.

The green row to the left is the one that I had most success with last summer:

Have a slight OCD when it comes to filling my boxes:

Salmon Bomber

Posted on 3 February, 20141 February, 2014 by Håvard Eide deer hareline

Tail: Hareline Para Post Wing White
Body: Hareline Premium Deer, Genetic Cock Saddle Green Highlander, Whiting Bronze brown

I was browsing youtube today and I watched a couple of videos involving salmon taking bombers in the surface. So: since this blog is all about testing out new things I had to test this out. The first attempt below was on a Dairiki 899 #1/0 and the deer hair wasn’t all that good, but I tried again on a tube (to see how that works out), and the above fly was much better stacked when it came to the deer hair and the hackle was more even.

In smaller variants this will be great for trout in rivers where you need to attract a lot of attention, so, will tie up some in smalleer (#6/#8) to bring along this summer when troutseason is starting again.
